Roman Catholics Make Jesus a Mama's Boy

There's a huge difference between honoring your mama and becoming a mama's boy. It can't be denied children are required to obey their parents, that we're to honor our parents but remember when your parents tell you to do something contrary to the Word of God, you have to politely turn them down! Unfortunately, Roman Catholics have turned Jesus into a Mama's Boy and most Roman Catholics are too blind to even notice it!

Roman Catholics are told stuff like what Pope Gregory XIV said, "In the most solemn manner, that Mary is the only hope for sinners. Jesus cannot refuse any request from the Queen of Heaven. Let us go to her to plead our cause and she will answer." What's worse is that people misquote and misinterpret John 2:1-12 on during a wedding feast in Cana. What's ironic is that the Good News Translation spells it out even clearer that Jesus told Mary politely, "Do not tell me what to do..." and Mary only said, "Do whatever He tells you."

Did you read what Mary said? Do whatever He not what she tells you. Mary from the start knew that the Creator of the Universe was going to be born in her womb. She's aware how humbling it is that the Creator of the Universe should be born in her womb as a child. She knew that during the creation of the Universe, she wasn't even there to participate in it. She wasn't born without sin as Roman Catholics believe her to be. If she was, she wouldn't even offer a sin offering. Nowhere in Scripture were people invited to come to Mary either. Mary is important but her importance is like every other good Christian who loves the LORD.

The whole idea that Jesus never said no to Mary at all is just absurd. Nowhere in the Bible is Mary always roaming around with Jesus during the ministry. Like every good Christian, she was faithful to the will of the Father. When she said, "Do whatever He tells you." there's really that message that says, "Look, don't go to me. Go to Him. Do whatever He tells you." Mary wanted people to understand this basic truth that she can't mediate between people and Jesus. Yet many Roman Catholics still choose to misinterpret the whole incident that Jesus is forever bound to His mother's will and that she must do everything she tells Him.

Nowhere in the Bible are people required to go to Mary. No, people must go directly to Jesus. The epistles of Peter and Paul don't tell people to call upon Mary before calling upon Jesus. No, Romans 10:13 tells people to call upon Jesus. Sad to say many Roman Catholics still choose to remain stubborn in their unbelief.

The Ang Dating Daan movement is by the Members Church of God International spearheaded by its pastor (and so-called "prophet") Eliseo Soriano. While claiming to be an expositor of the Scriptures with his "Itanong Mo Kay Soriano" or "Ask Soriano" In English, this religious group actually isn't Christian as some of the ignorant would want to believe. Though the group claims the Bible is their only authority (as some cults do) but the problem is that they believe only Eli Soriano may interpret the Scriptures. This is utter heresy! Not even a great man in the Scriptures, Charles Spurgeon ever made such a preposterous claim! This is no better than the "true church" movement by Darwin Fish which is exposed by Pastor Phil Johnson as a heretical movement. In fact, I'm not going to waste my time debating with ADD members, they are a total waste of my time as every other debate.
Unlike John F. Macarthur of Grace to You that actually encoura…

Editor's note:
First and foremost, I would like to thank the Bereans for this wonderful story of a former Iglesia ni Cristo minister (or pastor), now he has become a Baptist Christian. It's a sad story that some people have just jumped from one cult to another. Some members of the Watchtower Society, Charismatic Movement or the Iglesia ni Cristo have left Roman Catholicism but they have never truly come to know the truth of salvation is by faith in Christ alone and that any good works after Christian life is but the grace of God at work in the believer. Now for this brave testimony that I can really share after many years of searching for one testimony which I hope will further bring more INC members to Jesus Christ.

May I begin with a word of prayer that in the midst of all these trouble, I call upon Jesus Christ the Son of God who the Iglesia ni Cristo deny is indeed God, the only way to salvation, that they trust upon their works and church membership than Him alone. I…

It's really getting bad for some of my Independent Fundamental Baptist brethren to actually even take the words "pisseth against the wall" which appears at least six times in 1 Samuel 23:22, 1 Samuel 25:34, 1 Kings 14:10, 1 Kings 16:11, 1 Kings 21:21 and 2 Kings 9:8 where the King James actually has the words "pisseth against the wall". Now I am a King James only-ist but I do not support the stupid interpretation of "pisseth against the wall" by some IFB preachers who have become in some way similar to the Catholic Faith Defenders that they argue against when they should spend their time soulwinning. Actually I even heard that rather outrageous "pisseth against the wall" sermon by Steven Anderson that was so taken out of context.
So what does pisseth against the wall mean? Let us take a look at these six verses and take it on a exegetic view NOT an eisegetic (out of context) view:
1 Samuel 23:22- "And so more also do God unto the ene…

I was listening to the very sermon of Pastor Paul Tabanao who is a missionary to Cambodia. It had me thinking of how Cambodia still shakes my very bones with the sad history of the Khmer Rouge. How many percent of the victims were saved? How many of them right now are even tormenting Pol Pot in the very pits of Hell? Hell will be more than hot enough for Pol Pot's depravity. Out of this tragedy came the Khmer Rouge museum which displayed the bones of the many victims and this is where he brought the preaching to Ezekiel 37:1-14.
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O LORD God, thou knowest.4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones…

Conspiracy theories can be very misleading and are full of logical fallacies which ultimately leads to false information. Although I find the book "The Babylonian Connection?" by Ralph Woodrow to be faulty, however I would even say one of my former references "The Two Babylons" is also full of logical fallacies rather than testing the pagan practices of Roman Catholicism with how they violate the Bible's principles. As said, the argument itself has been stemming more on the similarities between the Catholic view of Mary and the pagan goddess Semiramis rather than condemning the whole act as idolatry according to the Bible. Fortunately the book "Truth Encounter" doesn't do that and is rather focused on why Catholicism is unbiblical than spend too much time comparing it to pagan practice. Conspiracy theories tend to commit logical fallacies like guilt by association, fallacy of division and ad homimen but more importantly, guilt by association l…

Here is a picture from South Dakota Apologetics which shows a page from the what could be a manual of the Iglesia Ni Cristo religion. What should be disturbing is that the Q and A shown above reveals the fall of the INC with their cult: The INC conveniently ignores that the Bible is finished as the Book of Revelation is already finished (Revelaton 22:18-21). We only need pastors and there are no more prophets and apostles. The work of the apostle continues but not the signs and wonders. The INC ministers believe that they were sent to study and interpret God's Word but they are always taking things out of context.They are now condemning themselves when they say that those who are self-proclaimed will be put to destruction when in fact these guys are just self-proclaimed.
It should be interesting that Dr. James R. White has a vast knowledge. If Joe Ventilacion really knew the Greek then he would see through the doctrines of the INC.

Do you see this picture of the cake? If you do see the picture of the cake then read the words that says, "The Bible is meant to be bread for daily nourishment, not cake that is taken out for special occasions." Now I do appreciate people who read from 1 Corinthians 13 during weddings or read the Bible during inaugurations but remember, the Bible is not the cake for the special occasion but it's the daily bread for Christian living. Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4 has Jesus saying to Satan that man does not live by bread alone but by the every Word that comes from the mouth of God. The verse is quoted from Deuteronomy 8:3 which says God permitted the Israelites to hunger so they will learn to trust on His provision while they do His will.
It becomes a problem when people treat the Bible as cake for special occasions rather than bread for daily sustenance. Why do they fail to read the Bible daily but only read it when it's needed? Remembering the Lord's prayer tha…

If one remembers the song called "The Spoonful of Sugar", it speaks the truth that it helps the medicine go down and how true it is. Matthew 5:13 has Jesus calling the Christians to be salt and not sugar. The real Gospel of Jesus Christ is salty and not sugary. Speaking of sugar, the great preacher Charles H. Spurgeon said, "God chooses not milksops destitute of backbone to wear His glory upon their faces. We have plenty of men made of sugar nowadays, that melt into the stream of popular opinion but these shall never ascend into the hill of the Lord, nor stand in His holy place, nor wear the tokens of His glory."
I was always reminded of the carnal desires of almost every child that do not like the taste of salt and they prefer things to be sweet. Most people prefer to eat sweets than food that brings them proper nutrition. If we expect to grow, we all need proper food cooked with some salt as seasoning. Do you know that your body also needs salt to functio…

It has become another heresy to teach the lie that Jesus Christ didn't attack other people's beliefs and religion and that the Pharisees were merely just a bad crowd. However, the Pharisees were more than just another bad crowd- they were worse than the tax collectors and the prostitutes they condemned for going to Jesus Christ for salvation, receiving forgiveness and starting a new life. Why? They were SIMPLY self-righteous and were the leaders of a false religion that was permeated with paganism- Judaism is satanic and we extend our heart to Jewish readers to let them know that Jesus Christ is the Messiah they were waiting for. They many times condemned the fact that Jesus though He hates sin, loved sinners and ate with them (Matthew 9:11, Mark 2:6, Mark 11:19, Luke 5:30, Luke 15:12) and always believed they were better.
So what was really going on? The Pharisees according to the Bible were more than just the average hypocrites that the publicans and prostitutes were,…

Okay I'd like to say I am a fundamental Baptist and I am attending a local Baptist church, yes that's the name of this site. Some of the best godly preachers like Jonathan Edwards and Charles Haddon Spurgeon were Baptists. Those who opposed the Great Whore of Revelation before the rise of the Reformers were again... you guessed it; BAPTIST CHRISTIANS... who came before the Protestant Christians ever came to existence and I am proud of my Baptist heritage. However there has been quite a problem with some fundamental Baptists. Here has been a few problems that caused divisions in the body of Christ thanks to some Independent Fundamental Baptists:
1.) The Lordship controversy and misrepresenting the Lordship preachers. It's pretty much something that I used to mistaken Baptist preachers like John Macarthur and Paul Washer (who I pray will revive the Southern Baptist Convention soon) to be works salvation preachers, legalistic or whatsoever until I began reading through …
